They fear about poor pricing for the produce owing to the pandemic
Mango growers in Chittoor district are pinning their hopes on the pulp industry this year, as the crop yield is expected to be around 35%, a slight increase compared to the previous years. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the farmers fear about poor pricing for the produce, recalling the scenario three years ago when the price of mango plummeted to below ₹7,000 per tonne, which included governmental support. However, this year, the mango growers’ association is hopeful of getting ₹10,000 per tonne.More Related News
